As the largest private sector Living Wage Employer in Canada and home to a team of 2,300 passionate employees, Vancity offers competitive rewards and benefits, diverse career pathways, and the opportunity to be part of something bigger.

The Opportunity:

We’re looking for an intern to join our Internal Audit team for a 4-month opportunity. The Internal Audit team supports Vancity’s Board and Executive by providing independent assurance, advice, and insights over key risk areas. This role provides hands-on experience to internal audit practices and a unique opportunity to be part of Internal Audit’s exciting journey to accelerate automation that enables stronger oversight of key risks. This opportunity is best suited for candidates with a strong acumen in business and data analytics, and a keen interest in developing and implementing RPA/AI use cases.

The intern will work closely with Internal Audit leaders to help design and improve our data analytics and automation program. The candidate will report into the Senior Manager, Technology Risk and Automation.

A typical day would involve:

• Assisting in the development and execution of data analytics scripts, dashboards, and reports to support Internal Audit’s continuous monitoring program.
• Performing recurring data analysis to identify exceptions, trends, and unusual patterns.
• Documenting monitoring logic, assumptions, and results.

• Assisting in visualizing data, using tools such as Excel, Power BI, or similar analytics platforms.
• Identifying opportunities to improve, automate, or streamline monitoring processes.

• Assisting with quality testing of new analytics or monitoring programs before deployment.

You are:

• Results-Oriented - You eagerly support projects by listening to feedback, gathering information, and contributing ideas that move work forward as part of a team.
• Critical Thinker - You seek to facilitate data-driven decision making, including "rolling up your sleeves" to elicit requirements, research, analyze data
• A Problem Solver - Your skills to diagnose challenges and issues, develop innovative business solutions, and assess risks and opportunities that may affect the business, are showcased on a daily basis.
• Curious & innovative - You enjoy learning new things, doing research, and asking thoughtful questions to help explore ideas and suggest improvements.
• A team player - you can engage with members of your team as well as cross-functional teams and are willing to collaborate across projects and initiatives.

You have:

• Current enrollment or recent graduation from an undergraduate program within an applicable field and eligible for co-op/internship opportunities (i.e. Data Science, Data Engineering, Business Analytics)
• Strong understanding of data structures and data transformation concepts.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• An ability to work with large datasets and identify meaningful insights.
• Proficiency in advanced Excel (e.g., Power Query, Power Pivot, complex formulas).
• Working knowledge of data analytics and visualization tools and languages such as Power BI, Tableau, SQL
• A willingness to work in a highly flexible environment with multiple competing priorities.
• A high level of attention to detail
• Willingness to learn and challenge assumptions
• Professional judgment and discretion

Bonus points, if you:

• Proactively ask “why” behind data patterns
